Cyborg Spider Infestation by kryger

[raw]
made by kryger for LD25 (COMPO)
Cyborg Spider Infestation was inspired by grafix in an ad of a game called "Tower of Babel" in March 1990 "The one" magazine. Never played the game but I liked the ad, so here goes. Whew, I was ready to give up only after few hours. I guess the idea was too much for 48h.

You control a herd of cyborg spiders. Destroy buildings and enemy vehicles for raw materials and build more cyborgs.

Good game, but would be better if it allowed to aim with a mouse.

I found gameplay a bit confuse... Maybe some sort of tutorial would help. Nice graphics, nice physical effects with spider's head.

The game played well and had a great apocalyptic feel. The usage of A/Z for aiming up and down was a bit weird and I had a issues with the Control + Left/Right messing with OS X's desktop management switching.

I kinda understand what I am doing, but occasionally it seems as though I randomly die

It's a pity that we cannot clearly see the spider during game, it's seems to have a great animation.
Also the moves are a bit slow and without mouse it's difficult to dodge enemies.
